Catch the best of this year's LIAF films, chosen by an industry-judging panel and audience votes, before the curtain comes down on another year at the London International Animation Festival.

Emerging from whopping a pile of 2,600 entries, LIAF have put together a series of screenings that showcase the best 117 new films from around the globe. This has been your annual window into the world of international indie animation.

From these 117 films, the judges will ponder and argue out their choices. You saw them, you voted. The LIAF Director will occasionally sneak in one or two that got missed.

Awards will be announced by the festival director and judges and award-winning directors welcomed to the stage to say a few words. Awards are given for the best film in each competition session, ‘Best British Film’, ‘Best Sound Design’ and the overall ‘Best of the Festival Film’.
